2017 Impact Factor for Industrial Marketing Management

The 2018 Journal Citation Report* has just been released and I would like to share the 2017 Journal Impact Factor of Industrial Marketing Management. The Impact Factor has increased to 3.678 (up from 3.166 in 2016) (with the 5-Year Impact Factor being 4.488, up from 4.402 in 2016). Additionally, the CiteScore has increased to 3.76 (up from 3.38 in 2016).

The above numbers are impressive. Industrial Marketing Management now is ranked 30th among all business journals and 37th among all management journals.

That the Impact Factor and CiteScore continue to increase is directly attributable to the continued increase in the quality and influence of Industrial Marketing Management (cf. the journal's Vol. 69, pp. 5-12). The journal is ready by, and is of interest to, academics in related fields such as strategy, management, innovation, and product development, and thus, the journal has an influence outside the relatively narrower field of marketing. The quality of articles published in Industrial Marketing Management also has increased leading to more citations in recent years. Finally, research topics covered by Industrial Marketing Management have grown in importance.

The journal’s co-editors-in-chief are professors Adam Lindgreen and Tony Di Benedetto. To help us in our editing of the journal, we work closely with the journal's Editorial Review Board. This is a dedicated group of academics with many years of dedication to our journal, and a vested interest in maintaining and improving its status and relevance. It is no surprise, then, that we have overwhelmed with the thorough reviews and thoughtful comments we receive from the Editorial Review Board membership.

Industrial Marketing Managementis published by Elsevier, the largest journal publisher in the world. As such, the journal enjoys the support of a very innovative publisher, a publisher that has invested millions of dollars in its systems to better convey the knowledge developed by academic researchers.

Our editorial on the future of Industrial Marketing Management (cf. the journal's Vol. 67, pp. 1-4) discusses the aim and scope of the journal; outlines topics of interest to theory and practice in business-to-business marketing; discusses the journal’s editorial process and the role of reviewers, as well as topic editors and the continued role of Special Issues. The editorial also introduces the idea of target papers, position papers, letters to the editors, and articles from practitioners. Finally, as a means to develop and stimulate the journal’s role in the academic debate, we have launched the Industrial Marketing Management Summit.

In short, we are looking very much forward to continue developing Industrial Marketing Management together with authors, reviewers, the journal's Advisory Board, and Elsevier.
